Shy Love Talks Working Rich Men & Writing About It

Pornographic actress and author Shy Love shared with us a knowledge of both worlds she’s a part of. I interviewed her about her experience of being woman in porn and being writer. Learn about how she effortlessly pulls off both! Also check out her blog moneylovesuccess.com!

How did you get into doing porn?
I was an accountant in Florida for a company and was bored and tired of the everyday boring day to day grind. I decided to move to Los Angeles. When I got to Los Angles I was walking down the street and got approached by a scout to do Playboy Magazine. I was doing a test shoot when I got offered a TV show on Playboy TV and I said why not try it once and if I did not like it I would move on. 13 Years later I was still in the business.

Porn has a lot stigma in terms of folks thinking that women are mistreated in porn industry. To what extent do you think this is true? and how has your experience been in regards to this?
With every industry there is good and bad. I was very fortunate to have an amazing experience. I was treated with respect at all times. With that being said I have also seen with my own eyes women get abused. I think that happens because these women come into the industry just to get a pay check and do not take their career choices seriously. They also will not say no to a job because money hinders their decision. I think in order for you to have the best experience you need to be a strong personality and be able to say no to anything that your not comfortable with regardless on what anyone says. I also believe that when taking a job you should only do what your comfortable with regardless of what money is offered. Finally if you need to take any substance to get you through your job this is not the job for you.

Tell us what you made decide to become an author.
Honestly, girls would come up to me all the time and say why is it that anytime you date a guy he asked you to marry him. What is it that you are doing? I then realized why not write a book about how I act and how I got my financially secure man. As for the book How to Catch a Kitten, I realized a lot of my male friends were having problems getting girls and I know its because they were always being Mr. nice guy. I figure I write a book from a women mind set on what really works and how men can take advantage of the information so they can get their girl.

Porn is like other jobs, in terms of people having a multitude of reasons on why they do it. What were you reasons and motivations behind going into this industry?
I was just in a point of my life that I did everything by the book. I had the college education, the job, the husband and white picket fence and was unhappy. I decided that it was time for me to have fun with less boundaries so I got into porn.

Whats one of the funniest stories you can remember that’s happened on set?
The funniest thing that happen on set, LOL. There where so many. I remember needing to shoot a scene and the entire time my job was to ignore the guy during sex and play board games. It was weird and funny. I also remember shooting a scene and it was 2 of my best friends in the scene. It was so awkward that the entire time we were laughing and when the camera was not on our faces we were making the craziest faces.Is there a lot competition between women in this industry and/or do you support each other?
There is a lot of competition in the industry. Every girl wants to be the hottest and the one that is the most popular. I was never in competition so I would support the girls. As for other girls they would support you in front of your face and backstab you when you were not looking. It was a rough business in that sense.

How have men responded to your books? How have women?
Men love the book How to Catch a Kitten. They said it has really helped them. They hate that I wrote a book called How to Land a Rich Man. I guess it is ok to write a book on how to pick up a hot young girl but not ok to write a book on how to get a financially secure man. As for women they have given me compliments on both books. Some women said the book How to Catch a Kitten has helped them out to spot the jerks that are playing games. I have 3 women that have said since reading my book they are now with financially secure men.

Tell us something you wish you had included in each book but didn’t.
To be honest anything that I think I forgot I usually put into my blog on moneylovesuccess.com. I also figure their can always be a sequel to the book.

What awards have you won? And how much do they mean and represent to you?
I won Hall of Fame and also won Best Anal. To be honest I never cared about getting awards. All I have ever cared about is building my empire and awards did not determine how amazing my empire would be, that was all me.

What do you like to do in your spare time?
On my spare time I read a lot as well as do research for my books and any future projects I have. For fun usually I go hiking, zip lining, propelling. I like extreme sports.

What does the future bring you?
I hope and pray that the future brings me more book tours and I get to help people achieve success in their lives whether it is business or personal.

Whether preparing for a fire drill, earthquake, or booty call, failing to plan may in some cases be planning to fail. Definitely for the former two. At the very least though, you want to be in a place where you feel good, prepared, and chill so that you can enjoy your experience more. I figured

When your boyfriend likes another girl’s Instagram, you might feel a pang of jealousy. But that doesn’t make you a psycho. You’re entitled to your feelings on this, no matter what they are. I once had a boyfriend Zach* who thought it would be cool to like a big booty pic on Instagram. I tried

If you’re like me you are SO over dating apps — how many weirdos can possibly live in the vicinity of a five mile radius? I think I deleted the last of those “let’s go on a bad-idea adventure date” apps in 2013 along with the last guy’s number who I met at a wine

Before a casual coupled-up Instagram post became the de facto way to announce your relationship to the world on social media, there was “going Facebook official.” To go Facebook official, you would update your relationship status — married, engaged, in a relationship, or the notorious in an open relationship — and tag the object of
